Visitor Comments about this Photo:

It was from this series of B&M GP-7s that powered the freight from Concord to Lincoln from the 1950's through the end of B&M service to Lincoln, NH. Towards the end, the State of New Hampshire took over the ROW from Concord to Lincoln and leased it to various short line operating companies (which it still does today) Freight slowly dried up on this branch and today there is only an occasional car.
